The question is who’s next?

The question is, were they playing badly because they had been left out or left out because they hadn't been playing well. I thought that both Drissa and KMB had struggled to cope with the extra demands of league 2.

Traore was fine until he had a dip in form over three or four matches. Then that seemed to be near enough it for him. Such a waste.

Even with a new signing Drissa should be in the squad, even if as a sub or rotation. He looked much better when Osbourne came in and he had another L2 CM alongside him and he even started to play 90mins. Hopefully it's not too late.

Echo the comments about Drissa, WHAT A WASTE, but as I have posted elsewhere - he played 90 mins in the Glos Senior Cup last night, which tells me that MC is not likely to play him in League 2 any time soon, if at all.

Sadly I think we have seen the last of Drissa Traore in an FGR shirt - although I really hope I am wrong

I know of Chris Clements, came through the Crewe Academy which has produced so many good players. The right age (27), with the right experience (100+ games in League 2) and plays in a position (central midfield) where we badly needed strengthening.

i had a post removed in another thread for absolutely no reason. I don't think moderators should be allowed to post, it seems they just delete everything that is counter to their point of view!

An interesting nite at the end of this article. We play Grimsby at home last day if the season. This could be a huge game as their form is very poor at the moment and they could well get sucked into the relegation fight. There is always one team who fall from mid table. I off course hope it’s Cheltenham but think it’s more likely to be Grimsby.
